“ I didn’t kill her,” said Levy, she didn’t know how exactly things went like this but then again her life has taken a crazy turn ever since she turned seventeen. Seventeen, a young and beautiful age —— even more so when young wolves find their mates.
She found her mate too, and like every other girl who was ready to be treated like a princess by her mate.She too was prepared to be treated like one.Only she was not the princess in this scenario.The princess of her mate was someone else.Someone more beautiful and cuter than her. A girl, whom her mate loved and adored, for whom he was willing to bring the stars down, his childhood friend and the girl he had the biggest crush on Mavis Hopkins.Mavis was a sweet little girl in the eye of the everyone, one who wouldn’t harm even a fly but Levy saw that girl as what she was, she could see the true feelings that Mavis had for her mate who was keeping her entrapped against her will.Mavis hated him, despised him and wished he would die.Of course, Levy knew that her mate will never believe a thing if she were to tell him what Mavis truly felt for him, he will only think that she was trying to create a rift between the two of them and it was even more so the case since Mavis had the ‘goodie two shoes’ syndrome.Mavis wanted to please everyone around her, didn’t want to let anyone down and wanted to be well-liked by the people next to her—— even if she hated the attention.Complicated yes…but not as complicated as things were now, long story short —— Levy being the daughter of the former Beta of the pack and a witch by birth was appointed as Mavis's guard.Yes, her mate appointed her to be the guard of Mavis, the woman——he loved.Levy could have denied but she didn’t because she wanted to be next to her mate, she was pathetic and she knew it but only she knew how hard it was for her wolf and her to stay away from their mates. So, even though it meant letting down her pride as a dominant wolf, she agreed with the suggestion.And before anyone thinks that her father must have thought that she was an embarrassment for doing so—— her father’s reaction was quite opposite, he praised her, surprisingly for the first time in her life saying that she was finally doing something good despite having a witch’s blood flowing in her body.Levy thought that she had done the right thing that she will be alright and maybe just maybe her mate would look at her, he was looking at her now but not in the way that she wanted him to, with her hands cuffed and head forcefully bowed by the enforcer standing behind her, Levy sucked in a breath and repeated what she just said, “ I did not kill her, I escorted her to the mall with your sister and hers, then Mavis asked me to bring a coffee and I legit just left for a few minutes and she wasn’t there, I have nothing to do with it.”Earlier today, Mavis asked Levy to escort her to the mall because she knew that her captor wouldn’t let her go alone, Levy knew this as well and agreed but who would have thought that the entire thing was a trap.When she returned to the spot where she left Mavis, the entire place was completely ruined Mavis’s sister Lily and Moira —— her mate’s sister were unconscious and Mavis was nowhere to be found and what was even more tragic—— the place had spells cast all over.So, the blame for making Mavis vanish fell on her head since she was the only witch in the pack.Levy tried to raise her head but the male behind her pressed his knee harder at the back of her throat making her choke. “ Believe me, Logan.”Logan didn’t say anything in response to her plea and Levy felt her heart break into another few pieces. If this had been Mavis —— no, if Mavis really killed anyone, Logan would have never questioned her like this, he wouldn’t even allow his enforcer to touch her, yet when it came to her, he was willing to let her get embarrassed like this though she could feel her heart twist like an ice-cold hand has wrapped itself around it. “ Logan——”“ Shh,” he said finally, his cello-like voice brimming with rage that she could feel literally pulsating in the air. “ You mean to say that you took her out, brought her to a mall that was at an hour's distance, with magic circles etched at every place where she vanished. And you mean to say that’s not you?”“ I really have no hand in this——”“ Levy Taylor, do you take me as a fool?” There was a clink and the enforcer behind her pulled her head up by her hair so that she could see the chilling hatred in Logan’s eyes. Another pang hit what was left of her heart and she trembled, this man… this man was supposed to love her yet he was looking at her with so much disgust that she could feel her gut twist inside her.Jet black hair and icy blue eyes brimmed with a glow that could both mesmerise and terrified those who locked gazes with him.Seeing him look at her with so much hatred made Levy choke on a sob as she shouted, “ Why don’t you believe me? I never hurt her, I didn’t… I am not guilty, Logan…please …please, I have never asked for anything from you. For the first time in my life I am asking you for something, trust me please …just a bit.”She watched his eyes flickered ever so slightly and just as hope bloomed in her heart, his eyes hardened as he glared at her coldly. “ And who do you think you are to ask me anything, Levy?”Levy felt her heart drop to the deepest pit of her stomach. Why should he believe her? Because she was his mate! The other half of his soul, how can he not trust the other half of his soul and for whom? A girl who meant nothing to him. She wanted to shout and fight for her right but Levy knew that it was useless, Logan never cared about her and even more so now that she was the one who was being charged with the crime of killing the girl whom he had adored for so long. She bowed her head without saying anything anymore, she knew that no one was going to come to her help. Not even her father who have hated her from the day she gained her consciousness as a young girl, in fact, she was quite sure that he must be quite pleased with the outcome of this trial —— for years, Levy have wondered why her father hated her but now she could no longer care about anything. She has cared too much, and loved too much this was why she was in this condition. If only she had left the pack after Logan
“ However, Lord Abbot, you cannot deny that the sinner was indeed at fault because she didn’t do her duty properly, wasn’t she?” said Logan as he took in a calming breath and sheathed back his claws that have unsheathed at some point when she wasn’t paying attention to him. “ I can charge her guilty for that, right?”Lord Abbot was silenced by this retort of Logan because just as he said, Levy was supposed to protect Mavis and yet she didn’t perform her responsibility carefully. As her alpha, he had full rights to punish her for that, an icy cold wind blew inside her heart and Levy shivered, so he hated her this much her—— that he wasn’t willing to let her live? Her lips curled in disdain as she looked at her mate who was supposed to be protecting her when the whole world was against her yet here he was eager to chop her head off.The hope that was once ignited in her heart, was doused once again but she didn’t say anything because Levy knew that no one would care like always. She cle
“ You could have pleaded guilty you know?” said Jacob as he held her chains and dragged her to the hell that was going to be her home for the next seven years.Levy looked up from her hands that were bounded by shifters resistant handcuffs and stared at her brother in incredulity. “ I haven’t killed her why would I plead guilty?” Then she thought about it and added, “ If I have pleaded guilty he would have killed me not pardoned my supposed to be sin.” “ It would still have been better than this wouldn’t it?” said Jake without much emotion on his face, he has always been like that towards her ——-detached and cold. Being the good son of their father, hating her was something he was bound to learn even if he didn’t learn it from the womb of their mother, for as long as she remembered, Jacob has never cared for her. No, at first when they were children, he cared for her but then after he was caught by their father, he was severely punished by him… after that, her brother stopped caring
Levy woke up with a jolt when chilling water was thrown at her, as a wolf shifter she hated cold. Teeth chattering she looked at the female warden who was looking down at her, or at least that was what she thought they were doing since she couldn’t see their faces in the dark like of the prison and with their faces covered in a black veil. “ Ah what a shame, she woke up … I was going to use my latest shock stick on her.” said the woman on the left as she raised her brand new stick. “ It would have given a dramatic effect, water + electricity = boom!” “ Who says you cannot do that anymore?” said the one on the right with an amused chuckle. “It's not like she can rush off and complain to her mommy can she?”Both of the women laughed out loud at the poor joke, their laughter reverberating in the dark prison. Levy stiffened as she watched the woman with the shock stick coming close to her, her clothes were dripping with water and if she got electrocuted then she might not even make it o
Levy felt like she was dreaming, there was no way that Logan will come looking for her, right? If this was her old self, she would have been happier than ever, even foolishly believing that he came for her, that he realised his mistake but after seven years in hell, where she had to sleep with an eye open worried that the warden would make a move when she was asleep. But now that seven years have passed, she no longer held any hope. She knew it in her heart that if he wanted to save her, he would have done that for seven years, he wouldn’t have waited till the day she finished serving her sentence. She took a glance at him just for a moment though and realised that the teenage boy has grown up to become a flawless man. With those sleek muscles that were neither too buff nor too lean, he looked even better than before, dangerous even not that Levy cared anymore but her wolf——That pitiful animal, who still had some hope left when it came to her mate whined inside her head, her whine
Levy pushed herself off Logan’s face and then turned around to leave, she was in no mood to care about anything that Logan has to say to her, he was seven years too late and from the looks of it..he wasn’t even here to apologise to her. Her wolf whined in a low voice, telling her to give Logan another chance but she didn’t, instead, she walked away without looking back, not once did she look at Logan who was left behind, and maybe she wouldn’t have ever if he didn’t stop her. Again. “ Levy Harlow, you can say whatever you want but you are still alive aren’t you? And I hate to repeat this but I have never renounced my claim on you nor have I permitted to leave the pack, if you leave now then you will be branded as a traitor along with being a murderer is that what you want?”Logan called out pausing Levy mid-track as she turned her head and cursed him inwardly in her head for not letting her go even after torturing her for so long.She knew she couldn’t leave, no matter what —- not whe
Wow! That was the only thing that came to Levy’s mind after she was done listening to Logan. Her wolf let out a rumbling snarl at his audacity for asking help after what he has done to them, but Levy was certain that most of her wolf’s anger was due to him mentioning another woman. “ And what makes you think that I will just do as you are asking me to do?” she said ignoring the way her gut twisted when he looked at her. Those grey metallic eyes pierced right through her and Levy almost felt her knees give up before she drew in a breath and calmed herself down. No, she cannot afford to make the same mistake as she did before by trying to get closer to him, not when she knew that the guy only cared about Mavis, so it was better to draw a line before she messes up the situation because of the pull of the mating bond. Narrowing her eyes, she tilted her head. “ I mean what does this deal have for me?” “ What do you mean by deal?” Before Logan could reply, Elder Hopkins jumped up again
Logan shifted his attention by taking a calming breath most probably he was feeling like that because of the mating bond, or maybe it was his wolf that was feeling a bit intrigued by the woman who defied him for the first time in his life. There was no interest, not like the one he had for Mavis especially not for a woman who took her away from him, his eyes cooled down and he raised his head to look at Levy, their eyes clashing causing the air between them to crackle. “I will not repeat what I have said, its an order for you to treat Lily and put her right,” he said looking away from those cobalt blues, that were so dark they almost looked black, ignoring the way her corkscrew curls fluttered in the air like blazing flames. “ This is not a two-way option for you.” If he thought that he can just put her in her place by smacking her with ‘grrr, I am your Alpha..grrr you will have to listen to me,’ then he was hella wrong because that’s not how things were going to work.
